Backlash Fixed! Conceptual 3D model Started

I fixed the backlash in my v1.0 machine. It turned out to be as simple as adding another bolt to my lead screw nut to keep the nut from turning while applying a force to it. I re-cut the test pattern and my machine seems to have no more backlash, well at least no significant backlash.

So, I started drawing up the 3D model of my next machine. This design will be significantly more rigid by using the 3/8" steel V groove bearings and aluminum or steel extrusions for the rails. Check out the Z and Y axes:


I am having trouble figuring out how to support the ends of the Y axis. Any Ideas?
